Highlights
Pet care experience
Specializing in Shy Dogs
Compassionate care and love are at the foundation of my service. I have 20 years of experience rehabilitating puppy-mill survivors and working with medically needy dogs. I have a special place in my heart for our furry friends that need extra care and attention. I have experience working with dogs that have had extensive medication schedules and I know how to pill a cat without trauma to either of us. I know what it’s like to build trust with the most scared dogs that have come from traumatizing conditions. I use positive reinforcement and love. And of course, I love well adjusted furkids as well. I know how important routine and schedules are for all of these kids, and I can be counted on to do whatever you need to make your pets feel at ease. Please note that the rate shown for Doggie Daycare includes my service in your house as well as your dog coming to my house.

Safety, trust & environment
If I'm watching your pet in your home, I take the utmost care to ensure that I follow instructions and scan the yard/room before leaving them to make sure they will be safe. I started pet/house sitting in my 20s and have cared for cats and dogs of all sizes. I have a background in Project Management, so my personality and skills lend themselves nicely to being proactive and following plans and routines. I love checklists and following plans that work best for everyone. On the other hand, I know that animals are never completely predictable, and my experience working with former puppy-mill dogs has given me the flexibility and insight to look at the world through a dog's eyes and see what I need to do to help them build trust and confidence.
Ratings and reviews
Amy provided great care for our two kitties while we were away on vacation. She sent photos of them, made sure they had a clean litter box, and provided special dietary care for one of them. She went above and beyond to check on them extra when our HVAC broke during a heat wave. Thanks Amy!
This was our first trip away on vacation and leaving the dogs for any extended time. Amy went above and beyond to keep us reassured with daily updates, pictures and videos! When we returned home, they were both so relaxed and comfortable! Amy prepared special healthy treats, and their diet and meds were given per instructions! She spent so much time playing with the dogs! Our dogs were so happy and our home was clean! We truly could not have enjoyed ourselves without her care for our pups! We will book her again soon! *****
Good boy Henry!! Thank you for all your help today!
Amy was fantastic with our dog! We were running late and she was able to stay until we could get home. So grateful!
Amy always takes great care of my senior dog!
Amy was wonderful with our dogs. We could enjoy our day knowing she was caring for them. It made my Mother’s Day relaxing.
